The ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable identifies key research areas representing the pharmaceutical industry’s perspective on where advances in understanding would be most likely to yield more sustainable chemistries and processes of interest to pharma and allied industries. From these areas, the GCIPR selects a handful each year for Key Research Area Grants—currently a $80,000 award for a 12-month research commitment. Grant winners work closely with the GCIPR focus team that proposed the grant topic.

These grants are open to applicants from any country. 

The Ignition Grant program launched in 2016 to support high-risk, high-reward projects that aims to accelerate progress in green chemistry technologies by incentivizing innovation.  Ignition grants currently provide recipients with $40,000 over six months. Award winners work closely with appropriate GCIPR members depending on the topic.

Four Ignition Grants will be awarded in 2025.
